J German Note Says the Nebraskan Showed No Flag Nor Markings of Any Kind Till After Shot. ; ' . y : Washington. Germany's admission of liability and expression of regret for the German submarine attack on the American steamer Nebraskan, pleased officials here, but it was the general opinion that legal points rais ed Would , require the dispatch of a note further to conserve American rights in the war zone. A memoran dum stating Germany's position reached the state department through Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. Legal officers of the American gov ernment who examined the Germal memorandum pointed out that In many respects tfce case resembled that of the William P. Frye, the Am erican ship sunk ry the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. In roth cases Germany has expressed regret and has offered to compensate American citizens, bu the action of the German command ers has been declared justified. Td admit this, officials here say, would establish a dangerous precedent. In the Frye case Germany contend ed that it was a fair inference from the language of the Prussian-American treaty of 1828 that an American' ship carrying contraband could be destroyed if there were no other way to stop transportation of contraband." The United States objects to this con struction of the treaty and In the case of the Nebraskan probably will place on record its view that the attack, even though payment is assumed and regrets expressed, was an illegal act.
